What happens before the ads go live?
Once a surgeon signs up, onboarding typically takes about a week. During that time Pagerising gathers key details about the practice, schedules the in-person video shoot, and prepares the campaigns and landing pages. After that, the ads go live.
When do the first consultations come in?
Many practices begin seeing consultations scheduled within the first few weeks after the campaign launches. The system is designed to start generating interest quickly once the ads are active.
Some surgeons describe early results in their own words:
- Dr. Ami Shah Vira, two weeks in: "We're only 2 weeks in. We've had multiple leads and we've seen patients prepay for consults. I've had already one patient convert to surgery."
- Dr. Shashi Kusuma, after one month: "My goal was to get twelve to fifteen. It ended up being seventeen leads a month."
These are individual experiences, not a forecast. Results vary.
What affects how quickly results arrive?
The main factors are the market, the ad budget and patient demand. Our terms list others that matter: pricing, the offer, the practice's reputation, and how quickly and effectively the practice follows up with patients.
Some of these are in the surgeon's control and some are not. A market with heavy competition or lower demand for facelifts may take longer to build momentum than one with less of either.
What can the practice do to help results come sooner?
Most of the work sits with Pagerising, but a few things on the practice side make a difference:
- Make time for onboarding and the video shoot. The ads cannot go live until the footage and key details are ready.
- Keep consultation slots open. Prepaid patients are ready to book, so a calendar with availability lets them see the surgeon while their decision is fresh.
- Be clear on pricing. Coordinators explain typical price ranges, so accurate information from the practice helps patients arrive with the right expectations.
How long after a consultation do patients book surgery?
That depends on the patient, and the decision is made in the consultation. Because patients arrive already educated about the procedure and its typical cost, some decide quickly. Dr. Leo Urbinelli said: "Within a week of seeing the patients in clinic, these patients book surgery."
Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy, after six weeks: "Three out of those four have actually booked surgery, put a deposit down that is not refundable. And there are one or two that are very interested and had to give it time."
How long should you give a campaign?
The first 30 days give a clear indication of performance, and Pagerising offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee: if a surgeon is not satisfied after the first month, they can stop the program and receive a refund of the service fee.
Agreements start with an initial three-month term so the campaigns have enough time to generate meaningful data and patient flow. After that, the agreement renews in three-month intervals and can be discontinued. How to measure return on ad spend covers what to look at once the data comes in.
